FSU Honors Medical Scholars Program

What would be my chances at getting into, or at least an interview, into the FSU Honors Medical Scholars Program?

Get into Honors program first. There are about 500 kids in honors program every year.

There will be about 60 kids from this 500 who complete the Honors Medical Scholars application every year. 30 will be invited for interview. 10-12 kids are offered admission.

What stats? Grades are NOT important at the interview. In the words of director, " All the kids we interview have SAT 2100-2200, can’t pick one over the other base on grades". It is the other stuff that counts.

Fill out the application CAREFULLY. They are looking for a very specific type of students, from a specific town size, willing to go to specific town size to practice down the road. Fill out the application CAREFULLY.

I can tell you what they are not looking for—Academics, high power specialist, high power researcher. You are literally barking up the wrong tree if you fill out your application that way.
